“Fuck it,” I muttered to myself. “I’m going to go make a mistake.” If only I had a clue how that single declaration was about to change my life forever.
“Do you want to sleep at my place.” Rain’s smile struck Mason across the face, leaving him reeling. “I thought you’d never ask.”

“Do you want to sleep at my place.” Rain’s smile struck Mason across the face, leaving him reeling. “I thought you’d never ask.”
Awww I really loved Mason and Rain’s story. Lots of sweet moments and a touch of angst seems to be Sonia Blue’s formula and I gotta say, I enjoyed it even more in this installment.
“You know what?” Daintily wiping the corners of his mouth, he stared up at Mason with a wicked smirk. “I think I’m going to like this modeling job.”
I loved the chemistry between the characters — introvert vs extrovert, opposites attract, hurt/comfort, the silent grump photographer and his charismatic but hurt muse.
And I was really enjoying everything about this and I didn’t even mind the family drama because it still fit and gave more depth to the characters. The extra third-act drama llama however, felt too extra for me. BUT I’m nitpicking probably, and other than that Obsessed was a sweet read and I’m looking forward to see more men falling in love at The Pointe. Of course, bonus points for Mouse, the cutest kitty baby.
“Because I’m obsessed with you too.”

It was Knox who owned the show. Finn and I were just his puppets, and I was completely on board with that.
Just as promised in the preface, an MMM erotica with a hurt/comfort plot. It’s mostly smut, though, let’s be honest. A hot and taboo stepson and stepfather couple bring in a third. Lots and lots of threesome sex ensues.
The plot was slightly angsty, the romance sexy but also sweet. But, weirdly enough, I’m 100% ok with Daddy, but Finn calling Knox Father makes me uncomfortable. So, all in all, a fun & spicy story about three men getting it on.
{Side note: despite the title, and I may be the only one that thought this, this book does not contain any lactation kink. My bad.}

I know I’m trying to keep a lid on my crush here, but it’s impossible for my heart not to ache with longing as I watch this big, muscular firefighter use baby talk as he gently lifts each dog down to place them on the ground, holding their leashes delicately so they don’t strain and choke themselves.

He really was like an abused animal. One that wanted to be loved, but scared to try to accept it.
I love stories about broken boys finding happiness. But Hate To Love focused too much on the broken and the hurt, leaving very little space for the comfort.
TROPES: ❥ Hurt/comfort ❥ Size difference ❥ Touch-starved MC ❥ Dark romance ❥ Mental health rep
! SPOILERS !
The horrible abuse Oakley endured for all his life is extremely upsetting, and even if we see him slowly heal and start finding happiness, and Sebastian was caring and sweet, I don’t think it was enough to make up for all the trauma. I felt we were also missing more of their backstory, especially Sebastian’s.
I wanted to be his everything, and that scared me.
Sebastian was lovely, the perfect Daddy for his boy, and I’m glad we got to see Oakley start to trust him and even possibly love him. The spice is only one scene (which I wasn’t even expecting, given the abuse and trauma), but it also felt like it was put there out obligation, like it needed to happen before the book ended, so it was just thrown in.
The ending was just way too rushed to be satisfying. One moment we’re still struggling through Oakley’s healing journey, the next it’s the epilogue and a happy ever after. I wanted more of Oakley finding joy, learning to accept gifts and happy things, of them exploring what they could be.
A angsty dark romance with lots of heavy themes that had the potential of being achingly beautiful and a great mix of romance and hurt, but it needs lots of editing, not only for the too many typos (which hopefully will be fixed before the release), but also for the plot line and flow of the story.
Despite all my complaints, I still couldn’t stop reading and somewhat enjoyed it, but would’ve enjoyed it a hell of a lot more if the ending had been more complete.
“Good boy.” I couldn’t help but look at him, wondering if I really was good. Good enough for him to want to keep me?

“Is your heart racing as much as mine is?”
This hurts so good. My heart feels like it’s bursting. After reading Teaching Quinn, all I could think about was seeing Seth and his HEA and this did not disappoint. And while book one was sexy and full of lust and love, I definitely loved Seth’s story more. It was deeper, more emotional. It was a story of forgiveness, of loss, of grief, of new love, of new experiences. Declan’s grief was painful, but seeing how he came back to life bit by bit was heartwarming.
I didn’t think it was possible to love again, but Seth proved me wrong.
I loved the little adventure dates, both men just feeling free and alive. Loved Seth exploring his sexuality, diving right in because it felt right, they felt right. This was a wonderful romance, and I’m looking forward to what else this series brings.
I’ve let Seth in and given him everything I have left. Every broken, imperfect piece of me.

Kisses were everything. Caden would do just about anything to get more of Lincoln’s kisses.
Cute and fluffy age-play romance, great hurt/comfort, but not enough feels. Caden and Lincoln were super sweet together, but it was still a pretty basic Daddy/little romance, nothing standing out. This felt really similar to others I’ve read of the genre, which probably means I’ve read way too many, but I was hoping for more emotions, more snuggly feelings.
Still a pretty cute read, and since I can’t say no to a poly romance I’ll definitely be coming back to this series for Nash, Lucas and Adam’s story.

I wish his smile belonged to me, just to catch and hold when I most need it.
So much comfort & warmth in this cozy romance. Jackson was honestly too good to be true, Harper prickly but lovable. Very fairytale-like — gorgeous & rich Jackson makes hurt & ‘broken’ Harper believe in love. It was sweet, romantic, ooey-gooey. Maybe a tad too depressingly sweet, like don’t make me fantasize about an impossible fantasy life, please.
“You make me so fucking hard, just for you. Come with me, okay? Come.”
Super hot spice. I would’ve loved for them to actually commit fully to the Daddy kink, but even without it they were great together. Passionate and loving, slow and caring.
Best part of the whole book? Honey, the bestest girl, sweetest service puppy. Love her. Also love this author’s writing style and I’m curious to see what the next installment will bring.
Forever never sounded so sweet.

Maybe I can be something more than the worthless boy my father raised. I can be my uncle’s instead. I can be Uncle Kael’s good boy.
A suggestion box story, inspired by D. Dove’s unclecest short, Soft Stuff. As soon as I got the newsletter you best believe I ran to buy this. Giving Him The Soft Touch He Needs was exactly what I wanted from Soft Stuff — plushies and comfort and softness and filthiness.
“All you’ve got to do is let us take care of you. Me and Softy. We love you so much, sweet boy. So damn much. Just let yourself enjoy it, can you do that for me? Can you be my good boy and let go tonight?”
A great mix of dirty smut and sweet comfort moments. The teddy bear scenes were soooo yum and I loved how loving and tender Kael was with Rory. Just the perfect package for me.
But if being wrecked and owned and made his is death, then let me die, because this... this is perfection.

I shiver as I lift the pen because I know what I’ve done. I’ve signed my life away. I’ve made a deal with the devil.
Oh my, oh my. This was delicious & filthy. Just how I like it. Going into The Contract, I thought this was just gonna be a quick sexy dirty read, but I got so much more. I loved the domination, the intensity, the passion. Alongside the hot sex, there were also some achy hurt/comfort moments, a dark story and a growing romance.
I also just found out it’s the same author that wrote Silk & Sand so no wonder I fell in love with the writing and the characterizations. [also who TF told her there was too much spice in that series???! It’s perfect, I don’t wanna hear complaints]
I want him to claim me. I want him to possess me. I’ve never wanted that before. Or maybe I’ve simply never allowed myself to want it.
The spice was on the edge of too much, pushing not only Tristan’s boundaries but maybe even our own, and I loved that. I loved the edge of danger, the possessiveness, how they both were addicted to each other. This tickled all my secret dirty kinks.
“I thought about you all day,” he says. “I imagined that plug inside you, pressing against your sweet spot, making you hard for me. I imagined your cock dripping as you waited for me. Did you imagine me inside you?”
Yes, yes I did. The plot was a little basic, nothing we haven’t seen in the dark romance world, but I still really enjoyed Dante and Tristan’s story. I love how we got to see Dante’s more vulnerable side, his caring side, his brokenboi in need of love side.
« Because he’s making feel things that I don’t know how to feel. And he’s making me want things that I don’t know how to want. »
I already can’t wait for the next installment to come out, because I need more of this — of mind-melting smut and murderous [but only the bad dudes so that makes it okay] unhinged sexy men.
“I was … afraid,” he admits. That’s not what I expected. “Of what?” “Of you. Of what I wanted with you.” My breath catches. “And what do you want?” “Everything.”

Reread January 2025 — worth the reread just for the cute pics, especially those abs. Skipped the mama drama this time to spare myself the heartache and I enjoyed this story way more without that whole part.
“Sweetheart, as cute as you are when you’re jealous, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.” He brushed a thumb over Asher’s lips. “There’s only one person in my life that I’m absolutely mad for.”
What do you do if a hot billionaire texts you thinking you’re the escort he hired? Why, you answer him of course.
Textual confusion was such a lovable read. Was it perfect? Probably not, but I’ll be accepting zero criticism on it. I LOVED it. I’m only bummed that it seems there might be images/photos that aren’t available in the ARC version and apparently I’m missing out on Mr. Kingston’s drool-worthy abs. So sad.
“I want to give you the fucking world, you understand?”
Markus was a wet fucking dream. Super swoony and dominant, BDE and an actual big dick, broody and the big asshole Boss for everyone else but a sweet melted marshmallow for Asher. I loved how he cared for Asher, doted on him, praised him. I’ve been giggling and kicking my feet for the past 3 hours over this gorgeous man.
“Don’t hide those pretty noises from me,” he scolded. “Let Daddy hear the vulgar sounds his pretty baby makes when he’s being fucked stupid.”
Again, my saved quotes are almost entirely dirty & delicious. The smut was insanely good. I love detailed and long spice scenes. Probably tips this read more on the erotic romance side of the scale, but I’m definitely not complaining. The daddy kink, the praise, the possessiveness, the neediness. ...more

Cal’s hand, which was still tangled in his hair, moved and strong fingers massaged his scalp, making him want to purr. He was a wolf, dammit. He didn’t fucking purr.
I knew I was gonna love Luca’s story after reading His Mate By Vengeance. Loads of hurt/comfort, protectiveness, a dominant witch, wolf instincts, a prickly shifter and his flirty mate.
“Mmmm. Good boy. You want me to mark you up so everyone at your packhouse knows you’re mine?”
I loved the tension, them being enemies but also feeling that unstoppable bond forming between them. Luca’s wolf just wanting to scent and mark up his mate, Cal being protective and caring and so swoony. The spice was fun and sexy, with a sprinkle of kinky and magic. I had a blast with these two but I’m extremely excited for the next one — an arranged marriage between enemies. Can I have that now, please?
